Gary Morris returns with the first Quite The Music of 2023. On this episode, he is joined by lead singer Max Kendall from viral sensations Deco.

You may have been familiar with Max's quirky 80s style covers of britpop classics like Bitter Sweet Symphony, Wonderwall and Yellow if you are on Tiktok - and with over 150,000 followers on that platform and some videos with over 3 million views it's fair to say the band have exploded on the social media scene.

The band have big plans with their original music in 2023 and Max talks to QTM about the bands origins and influences, before the show ends with a play of latest single Everybody Wants To Be Somebody Else.
